I just traded a buddy some of my boolits for a Mosin and would like to start casting for it to learn rifle casting. And, I'm planning on a Garand this summer.
I see that a Lyman 314299 is a vary popular Mosin mold, and 311299 is quite popular for the Garand. I'd love to size the bigger boolit down for the Garand, but I'm guessing it would not leave enough difference between the driving bands and the shank.
Am I right, or would it work? Sure would be nice to save a little on a mold, but I don't want it done crappy.
